CES News: 3 January 2026

January 8, 2026, 8:18 PM EST. Retail traders named SpaceX as their top 2026 IPO pick, about 59% of votes, far ahead of OpenAI at 26% and Discord at 10%, per a Stocktwits poll. SpaceX also shows momentum in chatter: watcher counts up about 116% over the past year and message volume up roughly 1,600% in the last 90 days. The case: SpaceX's launches, Starlink expansion, and Musk's remarks feed optimism, though no IPO filing has occurred. OpenAI remains second, with talks of a potential listing that could value the company near $1 trillion as it shifts to a for-profit model. Discord sits third, with 200M+ monthly users and past Microsoft deal talks. Other names cited include Databricks, Anduril, and Anthropic.
